Interstate 87 stays in New
York throughout its 333-mile journey. It begins at Interstate 278 (the Bruckner
Expressway) in New York City and travels north along the Major Deegan Expressway
and the New York State Thruway to Interstate 90 in Albany. From there northward,
Interstate 87 is known as the Adirondack Northway as it travels near New York's
eastern border. Motorist services are limited along Interstate 87 through the
Adirondacks between Glens Falls and Plattsburgh, which are separated by 111
miles.

Exits 24 through 31 of the New York
State Thruway serve the
Adirondack Region of New York. (Photo taken 7/10/05)

Interstate 90 West pull-through
panel on the New York State Thruway as the ramp connecting Interstate 90
West to Interstate 87 South passes above us. The ramp is also mainline
Interstate 87 southbound, as Interstate 87 has a short duplex with
Interstate 90. The roadway that parallels the Thruway to the right is
Interstate 90. (Photo taken 7/10/05)
